Device and method for controlling computerized equipment

A computerized device comprising:

• a display device configured to display at least a first graphical object and a second graphical object;
• a tactile multi-point matrix sensor that is placed on the display device, configured to simultaneously acquire data of a first contact position of a first finger at a location corresponding to an image of the first graphical object and a second contact position of a second finger at a location of an image of the second graphical object;
• and
• a processor configured to
• create a first cursor and a second cursor that are associated with the first and second finger, respectively,
• associate the first cursor with the first graphical object and the second cursor with the second graphical object, the first and second cursors interacting with the first and second graphical objects, respectively, and
• generate control messages for the computerized device based on positional data of the first cursor, the second cursor, the first graphical object and the second graphical object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon, the computer-readable instructions when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• displaying at least a first and a second graphical object on a display device;
• simultaneously acquiring data of a first contact position of a first finger on a multi-point tactile matrix sensor that overlays the display device, the first contact position corresponding to a position of the first graphical object and a second contact position of a second finger on the multi-point tactile matrix sensor that overlays the display device, the second contact position corresponding to a position of the second graphical object;
• creating a first cursor and a second cursor that are associated with the first and second finger, respectively;
• associating the first cursor with the first graphical object and the second cursor with the second graphical object, the first and second cursors interacting with the first and second graphical objects, respectively;
• and
• generating control messages for the computerized device based on positional data of the first cursor, the second cursor, the first graphical object and the second graphical object.
